If you ever thought of seriously collecting Vivat Ribbons, we have an album that offers you the perfect way to display these ribbons. This is a custom album that was designed SPECIFICALLY for the Vivats. The album measures a massive 19 1/2″ x 14.” On the cover, we see the title “Vivatbänder aus großer Zeit. (Vivat Ribbons from a Greater Time)” It is very possibly a period WW I album. If it is not from the Great War Era, it dates no later than the 1920’s or 1930’s. As you look through the album, you will see it employs a unique method of securing the ribbons without harming them. A slide- through device exists at the top and the bottom, with inserts on either side of the ribbon for securing it. This arrangement will protect your Vivats from damage, yet allow you to enjoy them as you flip through the album. The first page has space for one of the over-sized Vivats. After that initial page, each of the other pages will hold three Vivats in a neat and orderly manner. [NOTE from the photographs following this description that we show you how each different page type looks with a Vivat present]. Special Offer!! Buy any TEN Vivats and you may have this custom album for $50.00!! This is a wonderful opportunity to start a collection of these interesting ribbons and to have the ideal way to preserve and display them.

About Us

I'm Kenneth (Ken) J. Greenfield, currently of New Port Richey, Florida, located on the West Coast of Florida in the Tampa Bay area. I started out as a collector of Imperial German Militaria, particularly items dealing with the Imperial German Air Service in the early 1960's. After more than forty years of avid collecting, I began to sell a few items to upgrade my collection and help finance my collecting "habit." I attended militaria shows, both to buy and sell. I wanted to spend more time at home and less traveling for the national companies that I had worked for; so, starting my own business seemed like an attractive alternative. I like nothing better than talking with others about militaria, and introducing newcomers to the joys of owning a "piece of history."
